Black Soldier Flies pull off one of nature’s best Houdini acts They don’t emerge from a cocoon. Instead, they pupate inside their own hardened larval skin - a puparium. The adult has no mouthparts, so it can’t chew its way out. The solution? Hydraulics.

Fishmeal shortage by 2028. The math doesn’t work without new protein sources. 🇯🇵 Feed-One scaling mealworm trials 🇪🇺 Innovafeed × NaturAlleva moving to commercial volumes Insect protein is shifting from “niche” to infrastructure. Blue food’s future is being built on land.

Salmon farming has led innovation for decades. Feed & nutrition are still catching up. Insects—especially Black Soldier Fly—are moving from “alternative” to strategic necessity, enabling circular, scalable, resilient salmon production. 🐟♻️ #Aquaculture #BSF #SustainableFeed

❤️ Love (and Science) are in the Air — and in the Larvae! This Valentine’s Day, our lab is looking a little more rosy than usual! These pink Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae are pink thanks to Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) expression! T

🌱 FreezeM at Sustainable Foods 2026 🌱 We’re excited to share that FreezeM will be attending the 5th Annual Sustainable Foods Conference in London next week. Ivan Ante Nikolic, VP Business Development, will be on site so feel free to reach out if you're attending

Black Soldier Flies don’t have lungs. They don’t breathe through their mouth or nose either. Instead, they rely on an elegant and highly efficient system called the tracheal system. #BlackSoldierFly #Entomology #InsectBiology #Biomimicry #SustainableProtein #FreezeM

BSF oil is emerging as a powerful, sustainable alternative to conventional fats used in feed and industrial applications. It is a highly digestible energy source, has natural antimicrobial properties, is sustainably produced, and has promising applications beyond food.

High nutrition. Low footprint. Black Soldier Fly larvae are redefining what efficient protein looks like. This visual is based on nutritional data from a 2022 Insects paper by Niu et al.: mdpi.com/2075-4450/13/9… #BSFL #SustainableProtein #CircularEconomy

The Power of Frass! In field experiments performed by the lab of Dr. Liora Shaltiel-Harpaz at the MIGAL Research Institute, FreezeM’s frass boosted cucumber yields by 25%. This is yet another demonstration of the growing potential of frass as a high-value, fertilizer!

In his Latest get the bug podcast, Umberto Diecinove talks to our own Adi Abada and Idan Alyagor about the early BSF industry hardships and how the upsurge of specialized companies like FreezeM, marks a turning point to a more mature market lnkd.in/dmXXSMfc

A recent Wageningen University & Research study, “Conversion of mycotoxin-contaminated maize by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL)”, provides an exciting data-driven perspective on how this waste stream might be safely upcycled. edepot.wur.nl/650999

Exploring the hidden defenses of BSF! A recent paper by Herman et al. Opatovsky's lab in MIGAL, uncovers the remarkable metabolic and immune roles of the hemolymph and fat body in Hermetia illucens when challenged by entomopathogenic fungus academic.oup.com/jinsectscience…

We’re thrilled to announce that OptiFlies, our Eurostars-3 funded initiative, has officially been approved! OptiFlies (AI-Driven Optimization for Sustainable Insect Farming) aims to revolutionize insect protein production by combining AI, IoT, automation, and biology.

The secret balancing organ of the Black Soldier Fly Most insects have two pairs of wings. But flies, including the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens), evolved something extraordinary: instead of a second pair of wings, they have halteres!

Insect frass - nature’s secret weapon for healthy soils Thumbs up to NACIA for establishing this great website with great resouces about frass! nacia.org/frass-institute

Unlocking the microbiome for insect farming innovation A new study has taken the first step toward designing synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) for the black soldier fly (BSF). 🔗 Read the full paper here: mdpi.com/2075-4450/16/8…

We’re excited to share that FreezeM will be attending the North American Coalition for Insect Agriculture (NACIA) Annual General Meeting on November 4, 2025, hosted by Bühler in Minneapolis. If you're attending - reach out to Ron Shavit and let's connect!

A new report suggests that global fishmeal shortages could begin as soon as 2028 — 👉 read more here (weareaquaculture.com/markets/fishme…) Insect protein is emerging as a strong and sustainable replacement #SustainableAquaculture #InsectProtein #AlternativeProtein #Fishmeal #BlueEconomy

🔬✨ A glimpse into innovation at the molecular level! At FreezeM, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of insect biotechnology. These fluorescence microscopy images show a transgenic fly line we’ve developed, with specific GFP expression in the ovaries.
